i need the user to type and confirm ... i don't need copy-paste from the first value..

You don't need, and the user is not allowed -- are different things. I'm not asking you about what you don't need. Why would you ever need restricting the user?

Solution 2

You need to set oncopy and onpaste property of your TextBox to false.

HTML

<input type="text" name="txtEmail" oncopy="return false"  onpaste="return false" />

Best of luck.

My 5. I actually did not know about it, thought it was impossible. Do you know about browser compatibility of this feature?
I still do not recommend using it.

Thank you.
